Default Epoxy, Fabric and Wood

9 Pics. Scroll right. Attachments are best attached at/near the backside corners of the cushion. Maybe a mid-cushion attachment is ok, but probably not needed.
Pic 1) Button on the inside of the cushion covering (cushion sleeve). Button string is run through the back of the cushion, preferably near the corner. A wood strip, rather than a button, is pic 3.
Pic 2) I have a dedicated needle for running button string through fabric, plies of fabric, etc. You could use an awl or a 10D or 12D nail to form a hole in the fabric to run the string through.
Pic 3) Is a demo wood strip. Drill holes in the strip to attach the string to. May not need a strip of wood, just some crude hand made wooden "buttons".
Pic 4) Loop tied in the string just outside the cushion.
Pics 5 & 6) A string or 3/8" elastic band is attached to the underside of the ply. The string or elastic band attaches to a hand made "S" hook. A large safety pin would do just fine, rather than an S hook.
Pic 7) Again, S hook or safety pin string is attached to the underside of the ply in this photo.
Pic 8) Button string loop is connected to the S hook/safety pin.
Pic 9) Cushions in place and no one knows any difference.

Pic 10) Rather than string, the S hook/safety pin can be attached to the ply with 3/8" elastic band.

Thanks! Really appreciate it!
